I want to acheive similar output but from array.

Why?

I want to use the IP address multiple time for various purpose in my script so I am pushing them in an array.

The question was why do you want an array?

Tried this, following an example but output is not as I want it. Output is not sorted and where do I specify that I only want top n unique values.

But why did you try that?

Why should that code produce something sorted?

What series of steps does the code perform to produce a sorted array of IPs and hits?

Also, what do you mean where?

Please think about it, and try to answer these questions out loud ; speak the answer to your monitor or an object on your desk.

What I would do is redirect the output of the first program to a file, then execute head --lines=N file to get the top N results

Dear Anonymous Monk, I am not a programmer, I have very basic perl knowledge. I am learning perl by following tutorials online and continue to do so. This is the first time I am working on hash and was hoping someone to explain me in a better way. I already posted what I tried, but you keep on asking me the answer for my question. I know my code is not good but it works, I just wanted some simple explanation of this.
